Project 366 week 41

I will share a laugh with you. About ten days ago I had just pulled into the drive way and was getting out the car when a parcel delivery van pulled up and said he had a parcel for me. So I signed for it and took it in. Looked at it and knowing I had not ordered it thought it must be a competition win. Decided it would do Ziggy next Christmas and it was put in the loft.
Was pm'ing my neighbour about other things during the week and she mentioned a missing parcel, turns out the parcel was hers and the driver and delivered it to the wrong house. The writing on the label was minute and I have to say I did not even look, just popped it in the loft. Oops!! Luckily enough she saw the funny side of it.


Sunday

Loved the colour of the sky at sunset tonight,





Monday


A walk down the sea shore with hubby and the dog. Spotted the feather with raindrops on and really quite liked it.





Tuesday

Got a phone call from daughter to see if I fancied taking the twins out so she could get an hours sleep, so we took Spud as well. Spud is not overly well with a sticky eye and a sore throat and ears. This is Spud's first time in a swing.



Wednesday

Finished the cross stitch cushion last week so went back to finishing off Minky's.







Thursday

We had spotted an advert for a local facility looking for families to trial a Science Safari Geocache trail. As this is never going to be available to the general public as such we decided to go along and give it a try and give them our feedback. I thought it would be a great chance to spend some time with the older two without the twins.

We had to find caches as per normal but then each box has a science experiment for the children to do inside along with information to read. They learnt about Fibonacci numbers in nature, CO2 in trees, gravity and various other interesting facts. We had a great time, blog post to follow. Bob was in his element using our friend Paul's machine and running on ahead and finding the caches before his sister.

Here hubby and Bob are using string telephones while Fifi and Paul watch on.





Friday

We had some of these with us yesterday, I hate the things so I lovingly shared the ones from the tin I bought....lol. The kids mentioned that their mum loved them, so when I spotted these in the supermarket being the nice mum I am I bought them for DD1.







Saturday

Last year in the Facebook Advent comps I won a voucher for a free service at Halfords. Well yesterday I got round to using it.The staff were friendly, ran me to my work, and did a great job. They even washed the car as well. Knew the win would come in handy.Thanks Halfords.

  1. Your reflection and feather photos are beautiful! Spud looks a bit unsure of the swing. The free service is a really good competition win. I reckon my car could do with one of those!

    1. Have to say my brakes are a lot less spongy and my car is pulling away better so well worth having done. Spud was not sure of the swing.

  2. The feather is so delicate and beautiful. Love the parcel story - maybe that's what happened to a parcel of mine that never showed once!? Drooling over the parma violets tube - love them!

    1. I knew the win would come in handy, it was just finding time to fit it in a year after the last service.

  6. That is funny about the parcel in the loft!
    The photo of the feather is really lovely - all the droplets shining up at you. Spud does not look sure about her first swing. Lovely to put your voucher to use - what a great win! x

    1. No she was loaded with the cold and not the happiest child going, which is why I took them out. It was a great win, much needed and appreciated....lol
